### FAQ

#### Is a PMP certification worth it?

A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations.

#### What are the best certifications for project managers?

The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation.

#### How does PMI support career growth for professionals?

PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers.

#### What is the PMBOK® Guide?

The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery.

#### How is AI changing project management?

AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment.  PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes.

#### What are the most important skills for a project manager?

Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates.


#### How can I get involved with the PMI community?

Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections.

#### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM?

The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification.

#### How does PMI support social impact?
PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world.

THEATER 

On Broadway 

ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy (Dennis) is dandy as an executive sweetie kept in an executive suite. She appears to be crying through her smiles while playgoers laugh till they cry. 

FOXY. Agile in the choreography of cowardice, Bert Lahr leers maniacally, gargles dialogue, and scurries up the scenery in this zany musical about fool’s gold in the Yukon. 

DYLAN. Alec Guinness as Dylan Thomas during his U.S. reading tours keeps up a marathon dance of death, pacing it with poetry, word plays, promises—unkept—and an inner pain that even vast quantities of liquor cannot kill. 

HELLO, DOLLY! high-steps its musical way back to turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Gower Champion’s dance company sets a brisk pace, but at the curtain it is a saucy saucer-eyed Carol Channing who just about steals the show. 

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS, by Ronald Alexander. A hypocrite’s hypocrite of a TV writer-producer, roguishly played by Robert Preston, presides over the decline and fall of practically everybody whose talent he can use and abuse. 

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. A pair of newlyweds clamber five flights to a Manhattan flat to coo, tiff, and tousle in a variety of dress and undress. Playwright Neil Simon is a laugh merchant who never runs out of good lines. 

Off Broadway 

THE BLOOD KNOT. Playwright Atholl Fugard traps a black and white pair of half brothers in a tin shack in South Africa, which proves to be a no-exit hell for a conflict that is bruisingly bitter, ruefully humorous, and much more than skin deep. 

AFTER THE FALL. Arthur Miller subjects himself, his mother and his wives, notably Marilyn Monroe, to a tortured overintellectualized cross-examination in this play about the end of innocence and the burden of guilt. 

THE TROJAN WOMEN, directed by Michael Cacoyannis from a translation by Edith Hamilton, gives U.S. theatergoers a rare sense of the power, agony, and cyclonic passion of the Euripidean classic. It movingly depicts the fate of a handful of proud women terrifyingly caught in the tormenting clutch of war and their Greek conquerors. 

IN WHITE AMERICA has as its theme the oppression of the Negro, and the reactions to this pressure—in humor, in cynicism, in anger and in sorrow—are as numerous as the dramatic sketches that recount them. 

RECORDS 

BORN TO BE BLUE!: BOBBY TIMMONS TRIO (Riverside). Pianist Timmons has an unfailing ear for the sound of sorrow, but he colors his reports from the blue world with musical wizardry and many shades of feeling. With the understanding accompaniment of Ron Carter and the great Sam Jones on bass and Connie Kay on drums, Timmons here runs through such dark delights as Malice Towards None, Namely You and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, and the result is a fascinating blues album full of bemusement and cool laughter. 

TRIBUTE TO TEAGARDEN (Capitol). An essay on the art of the trombone by the late Jack Teagarden, who played with such expansive charm that his presence in any band gave it heart, soul and a degree of musicianship seldom matched in jazz. The tunes, recorded in the ’50s, include such Teagarden classics as Beale Street Blues, The Sheik of Araby and After You’ve Gone. 

FIRST MEETIN’: LIGHTNIN’ HOPKINS (World-Pacific). An almost too intimate conversation between four masters of the grassroots, deep-ground blues: Hopkins, Big Joe Williams, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. The tunes are marvelous—Ain’t Nothin’ Like Whisky, Penitentiary Blues, How Long Have It Been Since You’ve Been Home?—and the maestri preach to one another in song, shouts and helpless laughter. 

ONE STEP BEYOND: JACKIE McLEAN (Blue Note). Alto Saxophonist McLean is several steps beyond most listeners’ taste, but his musicianship is faultless, and his stratospheric imagination takes him into what may well become the future sound of jazz. Trombonist Grachan Moncur and Drummer Anthony Williams are superb sidemen. 

AIN’T THAT GOOD NEWS: SAM COOKE (RCA-Victor). A rich and diverse collection of songs and styles by one of the best jazz and pop singers around. Cooke is as strongly rhythmic and rocking on Good Times and Meet Me at Mary’s Place as he is quietly swinging on the likes of A Change Is Gonna Come and Home. 

HOW MY HEART SINGS!: BILL EVANS TRIO (Riverside). Pianist Evans is the most decorous musician in jazz, but his rococo style never obscures his musical intent: to force the birth of a mood, however painful, whenever he plays. Here, in eight tunes recorded nearly two years ago, Evans swings with an energy he has recently lost, and the album that results is a souvenir of better days. 

UNFORGETTABLE: ARETHA FRANKLIN (Columbia). In tribute to the late Dinah Washington, Blues Singer Franklin makes a courageous stab at reproducing all “The Queen’s” great hits, among them What a Diff’rence a Day Made, This Bitter Earth and Cold, Cold Heart. The arrangements pressed upon her are nothing short of sabotage, but Franklin survives them, wisely avoiding imitation in pursuit of even higher flattery. 

CINEMA 

THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT spins hilariously around Tippy Walker and Merrie Spaeth, who commit grand larceny in their scene-stealing debut as a pair of overprivileged Manhattan teen-agers with a yen for Concert Pianist Peter Sellers. 

BECKET. In this stunning film version of Jean Anouilh’s historical drama, Peter O’Toole is a brilliant King Henry II, Richard Burton a sober but solid incarnation of England’s 12th century martyr. 

THE SERVANT is Dirk Bogarde, who coolly corrupts his master, finally trades places with him, while Director Joseph Losey’s camera peers into the British caste system like an evil-minded snoop. 

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW. One of the season’s brightest collaborations offers Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni blossoming as a first-rate comedy team in three ribald fables directed by Vittorio De Sica. 

THE SILENCE. In a bold drama that reflects his own uncertainties about religious faith, Sweden’s film genius Ingmar Bergman has an innocent child witness the death of the soul in two tortured sisters, one a lesbian, one a nymphomaniac. 

DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB. The ubiquitous Peter Sellers and George C. Scott head a fine cast in Stanley Kubrick’s explosive fantasy about inadvertent nuclear war. 

THE FIRE WITHIN. France’s Louis Malle (The Lovers) studies a world-weary gigolo (Maurice Ronet) who pours out the heeltap of his charm and drinks a final toast to death. 

THE GUEST. Donald Pleasence brilliantly repeats his stage role as a ranting old derelict in the film adaptation of Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker. 

TOM JONES. Five of the 20 actors nominated for 1963 Oscars are doing their “best” in this rollicking movie version of Fielding’s 18th century classic. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL, by John Cheever. Evicted from St. Botolphs and its rooted way of life by time, circumstance and inclination, the younger generation of Wap-shots find the 20th century closing in and the fit uncomfortable, whether in suburbia or in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a missile base. 

ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND THE CONSTITUTION, by Clinton Rossiter. A major reappraisal of the flamboyant Hamilton’s role in the founding of the U.S. Government, made by a historian who ten years ago dismissed him as “reactionary.” Taking a long second look, Rossiter describes Hamilton as “the prophet of industrial America.” 

MISS LEONORA WHEN LAST SEEN, by Peter Taylor. Fifteen stories of marriages and families, institutions and hypocrisies, most of them set in the South. Taylor’s knowledge of his settings and the elegance of his writing make the collection a joy. 

THE MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. This remorseless and controlled first novel takes the Korean war as its setting and the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers as its theme. 

ONE FAT ENGLISHMAN, by Kingsley Amis. The author’s best novel since Lucky Jim tells of a self-satisfied English libertine, and how some unawed Americans let the air out of his ballooning ego. 

WHEN THE CHEERING STOPPED, by Gene Smith. During the last 17 months of his presidency, Woodrow Wilson was crippled mentally and physically by a stroke, but his wife hid his true condition. Reporter Smith re-creates the time and assesses the political effects of the long hiatus in the White House.
